Man, can I relate to this post. My wife tells me that since I started on Audiogon, I am lieing to her for the first time in our marriage ( she thinks that anyway ) I have bought an entirely new (used) system from Audiogon members and have saved a bundle. I just wish the wife could appreciate that.Oh, well. Such is the life of the audiophile... Just last week, my wife asked me if I had bought anything lately from Audiogon. I immediately responded angrily, " No, I haven't!". Then she says, "Then what is this cable thingy for $300.00 I see on our Mastercard bill?" Oops,busted! My previous pet name from her was "Honey". Now it's "Sneaky Little Sh*t".Be brave,fellow Audiogoners.

The first step is knowing that you have a problem.
And mine is that I am so interested in this site, that I could forget about everything else I need to do personally and professionally when that Audiogon home page tempts and teases me nearly every waking hour from my Favourites folder.
Knowing this habit and my skillful ability to jump in and out and around this site, checking up to the minute posts and prices, my girlfriend often peers over my shoulder while I am "just checking my emails" or "just finishing a bit of work" before going to sleep -- only to bust me and ask if I am back on Audiogon again.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have some technical solutions?
I am beginning to wonder if my day might be more productive if my desk had two or three computers and only one with web access? Do any of you work on a separate computer?
Prehaps then I might focusing more on the riveting details of my contact database, spreadsheets, and word documents instead of hearing the latest opionions on AC outlets.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
